Gather Your Materials
1
Measure Across
Measure the width of your window to determine the size
of your curtain rod and add 1-3 inches on each side.
2
Place Your Brackets
Hang your rod higher than the window
for a more dramatic, lengthening effect that draws the
eye up and makes the ceiling look taller. Use a level to
mark your measurements and pre-drill holes.
For drywall, insert wall anchors with a Phillips head screwdriver.
For stud mounting, align your brackets with the holes
and fasten screws directly into the wall.
3
Hang Your Rod
If your curtains are rod pocket, back tab or grommet top,
attach them before hanging. If you're using clip rings or
round rings, attach the curtain after hanging the rod.
4
Tighten Screws
Secure the rod by tightening the bracket screws
with an Allen wrench.
5
Add Flair
Complete the look with decorative finials or handsome
holdbacks to keep your curtains open.
